Abstract
In this paper we provide a 4-GDD of type , thereby solving the existence question for the last remaining feasible type for a 4-GDD with no more than 30 points. We then show that 4-GDDs of type exist for all but a finite specified set of feasible pairs .
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Combinatorial Designs is an international journal devoted to the timely publication of the most influential papers in the area of combinatorial design theory. All topics in design theory, and in which design theory has important applications, are covered, including:
block designs, t-designs, pairwise balanced designs and group divisible designs
Latin squares, quasigroups, and related algebras
computational methods in design theory
construction methods
applications in computer science, experimental design theory, and coding theory
graph decompositions, factorizations, and design-theoretic techniques in graph theory and extremal combinatorics
finite geometry and its relation with design theory.
algebraic aspects of design theory.
Researchers and scientists can depend on the Journal of Combinatorial Designs for the most recent developments in this rapidly growing field, and to provide a forum for both theoretical research and applications. All papers appearing in the Journal of Combinatorial Designs are carefully peer refereed.
